In this chapter we have
the story of a young man who lost his sexual purity. Solomon writes this man's
story as an eyewitness.

WRONG PRIORITIES - Vss.
1-7

Vss. 6-7 - This young
man was "void of understanding".He did not have the right priorities for remaining pure that are listed
in Vss. 1-5. Practicing Vss. 1-5 would have kept this young man in the time of
temptation.

WRONG PLACE - Vss. 8-9

The best way to not let
temptation get the best of you is to avoid it.

This man was headed
towards the wrong place at the wrong time of day. 1 Thessalonians 5:22

We must be careful to
avoid the wrong places where temptation is present.Pornography in books and on screen should be
especially avoided. Psalm 101:3

WRONG PERSON - Vss.
10-20

This was not the type of
person that the young man should have been listening to. He should have
followed the example of Joseph in Genesis 39:7-13 who ran from temptation.
